Zinnias

I planted these at the same time as a mix variety I saved seeds from a few years ago. These started producing here in east TX this past weekend. They took longer, but they are sturdier looking plants. They are doing fine in the heat and humidity in raised beds where I put lots of mulch around them. I wanted to cut some for a bouquet, but didn't. These had little ants all over the blooms. I did not want to introduce ants to my home, but after all the rain maybe the ants have left the blooms. These are not really green. I was afraid they would just look like the foliage. They do not. I would say there are almost a muted neon yellow look to them in the garden when at a distance. Love them!
